Contrast of Life

Contrast of Life

While looking back upon my life
Contrasting the good with my despair
Just trying to feel satisfied
While knowing it's not fair
You try to give it all you got
And you’re seeming not to care
About all the dirty laundry
You've left lying everywhere
You'll never lose the baggage
As you give all you can spare
You never think you'll see it
But the thought is always there
A haunting vision when you sleep
Never waking from the nightmare
You try to find the strength to own
All the problems that you bear
